How rad are all those jazz shoes and hightops?
They come in mens and womens sizes and are designed in New York.
Carla Venticinque-Osborn & Aaron Osborn are not only designing shoes, check out their other projects and artworks.
I am always fascinated by artist- and creative couples who are working together.
Maybe that will become one topic for this blog!?

Liv loves that all bags are vegan friendly! I already put the Black Troubadour Bag on my wishlist.

Autumne from Our Punk Rock Wedding shared her DIY cupake decoration on her blog:
“This may sound kind of ridiculous but we couldn’t afford the colorful frosting for our vegan cupcakes. I have no idea why colorful frosting costs more. It just does. Instead, I decided to print out 120 tiny little album covers that have been meaningful to Graham and I, glue them on popsicle sticks, and put them in each cupcake.
We also didn’t want to spend $40 on a cardboard cupcake stand so Graham made one out of records.
Yeah, we’re kind of music nerds. Don’t judge.”
Of course not! I love the idea and it looks really fun. Extra points for all the great ideas and for the VEGAN cupcakes
and for being cool.

I have a pretty awesome GIVEAWAY for you this month:
I discovered SNOWBERRY the natural skincare from New Zealand,
during Berlin Fashion Week. We exhibited at the same green, luxury trade show. Thats how Liv got some great samples of their products. Their Eye Serum is really helpful against Livs puffy eyes in the morning. I was happy to win them as a Blog Sponsor, especially as I like the philosophy of the company:
They do not test on animals; and Snowberry is a certified carbon-neutral enterprise by CarboNZero™ because they accept our responsibility to future generations.
Snowberry Founder, Cosmetician Soraya Hendesi’s lifelong fascination with ‘natural beauty’ and her frustration in being unable to find skincare that she felt she could trust, prompted her to begin the demanding but exciting process of creating her own range.
Snowberry, she says, is ‘authentic skincare’ that women can trust to be both safe and effective, because that is what she wanted for herself, her family and her friends. Find out more here.
For your chance to win a original size Bottle of SMOOTIHNG EYE SERUM
all you have to do is leave a comment completing the following sentence:
LOVE IS…..
Closing date will be 24th September 2009
The winner will be chosen at random on the 25th
GOOD LUCK!

I reckon you have seen these already!?
It has been a while since MELISSA launched the ZAHA HADID shoe.
Liv was in love with them within seconds, but wasn’t able to find out
how to get them…
Zaha Hadid, British Iraqi deconstructivist architect and the first female recipient of the Pritzker Architecture Prize, is world renowned for her influential and groundbreaking designs. She has teamed up with Melissa to create one of the most iconic and collectible shoes of our time. This radical style has round forms, asymmetrical cuts, and an absolutely original avant-garde design. According to the architect, the inspiration came from fluid movements which accompany the lines of the body. Each pair is packaged inside a molded plastic case.
Simply put: these are some of the most iconic and unique womens shoes ever conceived.
Now I just got a Newsletter from my favorite little shop in my old neighbourhood in NYC and: they are selling them: here!

This lady is a punk! And thats why I love her.
Also for her anti attitude or voicing her views;
to get engaged in things, and not buy any crap,
that you’ll trash 6 months later.Fashion needs rebels,
needs people that have a point of view!
It was a huge compliment for me when my manager
called me an “enfant terrible” the other day, explaining
I remind her of the young Vivienne Westwood.
Fair enaugh!
The shoe above is vegan, made of rubber, that smells
like FRUIT (right: I am addicted to fruit!) by the way:
all Melissa shoes have that smell!
